THE TIMBERLANE REGIONAL SCHOOL BOARD

The Timberlane Regional School Board is made

up of nine School Board members from the

district towns of Atkinson, Danville, Plaistow, and

Sandown. Those elected members are

responsible for establishing the structure,

accountability, advocacy, and delivery of

instruction in each of the district schools by way

of program approval, writing of policy, and

working collaboratively with the Superintendent

of Schools as provided in policy, NH state law, and

NH Department of Education rules. This report

will provide an overview of the positive

initiatives in the 2018-19 school year, and a few

highlights for the 2019-20 school year.

POLICY

The Board has been reviewing the over 300+

policies that we currently have. We have been

working with New Hampshire School Board

Association to review, update, and recommend

changes to our policies. This is a multi-year effort

and will be a continuing action item for the Board

to address as we move forward.

BUDGETING

The School Board liaison to the Budget

Committee, kept the Board up to date on budget

developments for the 2019-20 school year. The

board also took a direct role in developing the

default budget and prevailed in a legal challenge

by former school board members. I would state

that we had the most detailed Default Budget in

the State of New Hampshire.

TRANSPORTATION

The Board was looking to reduce the average

riding time of our students and spent several

meetings assessing data and discussing various

options for time reduction with our

transportation provider. The results were a

reduction of nearly 6 hours/day of student time

for students in grades 6-12. This was due to the

Boards persistence in showing the community

that time could be saved for our students.

WITHDRAWAL FROM SAU55 STUDY

COMMITTEE

The Board oversaw the creation of a Withdrawal

Committee from SAU 55 which comprised of 2

Board members, 4 people from the community

picked by the District Moderator, a Budget

Committee member, and the Superintendent

(non-voting member). The conclusion after many

in depth meetings was a 6-0 support of the

Withdrawal plan. The plan will be voted on by the

district on the March 2020 ballot. I would like to

extend a “Thank You” to the Withdrawal

Committee for their long hours and dedication to

this study.

Seated: Kimberly Farah – Danville; Sarah Machemer – Plaistow; Susan Sherman – Plaistow; and Sheila Lowes – Sandown. Standing: Lee Dubé – Sandown; Kristin Savage – Plaistow; Jennifer Silva, Vice Chair – Atkinson; Brian Boyle– Atkinson; and Shawn O’Neil, Chairman – Danville.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to extend a heartfelt hat tip to ALL

our volunteers that make our District run well.

Your help is much appreciated. I want to thank

our student facing teachers, paraprofessionals,

and supporting staff as well. You are the ones that

actually teach our children to dream, and to

pursue those dreams. Thank you to my fellow

Board members for their dedication in bringing

the best results forward for our District residents.

Last, and surely not least, I want to thank the

District Taxpayers for their generous support of

the Operating Budget in March 2019. We are very

frugal with your funds and returned over $4

million dollars back to the Taxpayers last year.

In closing, we want to remind district members

that school board meetings are held in public, on

the first and third Thursday evenings of every

month during the academic year. Please log onto

the school board website

at: https://public.timberlane.net/sau/trsb/defa

ult.aspx. Emails to the Board are welcome

at [email protected].

Thank you and God Bless,

Shawn O’Neil,

Timberlane Regional School Board Chair

THE TIMBERLANE REGIONAL BUDGET COMMITTEE

The Budget Committee convened this year in

March 2019 for its Organizational Meeting where

two of the board’s members were re-elected

(Alan David – Sandown, and David Gerns -

Plaistow) and welcomed back to the committee.

The items discussed included: budget

information for the previous five years, a Capital

Improvement Plan, staffing information, Review

of Revenue and Expenditures, and the format of

the financial reports. The committee resumed

regular meetings at the start of the school year.

Over the ensuing five months, the committee

conducted seven regularly scheduled meetings

and a public hearing presentation in January

2020. This year the Budget Committee members

didn’t participate in facilities due to scheduling

conflicts and staffing challenges in the facilities

department.

The 2020-21 proposed budget presented to the

Budget Committee over the course of the

meetings totaled $75,088,628. Through the

Budget Committee’s deliberations, the budget

was reduced by $2,089,628. The 2020-21

proposed budget presented to the District voters

at deliberative session was $72,999,000. This

proposed budget includes $1,042,200 in our

major Building and Sites Improvement lines for

capital related projects. This 2020-21 proposed

budget shows a net decrease of $79,676

compared to the 2019-20 Voted Operating

Budget of $73,078,676 (excluding the Capital

Reserve Contribution voted in March 2019).

The Budget Committee wishes to thank Dr. Earl

Metzler, Superintendent; Geoffrey Dowd,

Business Administrator; and Brian Boyle, our

School Board colleague, for all their assistance

and support throughout the budget season. We

also extend our gratitude to members of the

administration, principals and vice-principals,

teachers, and so many others who participated in

the budget process. Their time, input, and

expertise are truly appreciated. I would also like

to express my thanks to the members of the

Budget Committee for their dedication in

developing this year’s budget. It has been an

honor to serve alongside this great team of

dedicated professionals.

As always, input from District residents is

appreciated and members of the public are

welcome to attend all Budget Committee

meetings. Financial reports and budget

documents can be viewed anytime on the District

website at www.timberlane.net.

REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT

Dr. Earl Metzler, Superintendent

We are proud of the work undertaken by our schools and leadership

teams. These dedicated people are always ready to serve the

children and families of Atkinson, Danville, Plaistow, and Sandown.

With Rigor, Accountability, Evaluation, and Support as the

foundation of our work, we have improved student achievement,

instructional practices, and improved on numerous school and

system operations. Many of these improvements are resultant of the

rigorous goals I set for myself and for our administrative team on an

annual basis. I have dedicated my report this year to articulating the

goals for the 2018-19 school year.

1. ACADEMICS, PROGRAMS and PRACTICES

Work to improve academic rigor resulting in

increased student achievement by way of the

following district and building level initiatives:

a. Block Schedule - Monitor second year

implementation of the 90-minute block

schedule at TRHS and TRMS with specific

attention to the personalization of student

learning.

GOAL SUMMARY: BLOCK SCHEDULE

▪ 2018-2019 was the second year of

implementation of the 90-minute extended

block schedule at the middle and high schools.

The implementation of this model has been

monitored through the systematic collection

and ongoing analysis of qualitative and

quantitative data by middle and high school

administrative and data teams. This data

includes the results from teacher surveys and

interviews, student behavior and attendance

records, walkthrough observational data,

trimester and semester grade reports,

midterm and final exam data, AP scores, SAT

scores, NH SAS scores in ELA (6-8), math (6-

8), and science (6-8, 11), STAR scores, and

student perception survey data. Middle and

high school administrators delivered monthly

updates on the implementation of the

extended block schedule to the School

Board’s Curriculum and Assessment (C&A)

Committee in conjunction with C&A

Committee’s ’s Goal #1. These discussions are

reflected in the C&A Committee minutes.

b. Response to Intervention - Monitor

implementation of district-wide 3-tier

Response to Intervention (RtI) model to meet

the individual needs of students in the areas

of academics, behavior, and social-emotional

learning.

GOAL SUMMARY: RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION

▪ Each of the schools in the Timberlane

Regional School District has continued to

develop and refine its Response to

Intervention, multi-tiered system for

supporting all students. Teacher

participation in Professional Learning

Communities, Target Teams, Data Days, and

Enrichment team has allowed educators to

work collaboratively and to focus their work

on reviewing student data, creating

individual action plans and personalized

goals, monitoring student progress, and

adjusting interventions and supports as

needed in the areas of academics, behavior,

and social-emotional skill learning.

c. Curriculum - Continue the writing of UbD

Stages 2 and Stage 3 curriculum, focused on

assessment and the design of instructional

lessons that foster a deep understanding of

topics and the application of learning to new

tasks and continue monitor and review

course offerings to ensure efficiency as it

relates to staffing and teaching loads.


8 | P a g e

GOAL SUMMARY: CURRICULUM

▪ At the elementary level, all classroom

teachers collaborated with their colleagues

and curriculum leaders to create trimester

Math Instructional Units. All teachers

received ongoing professional development

training in the math workshop model and in

the three dimensions of science learning

connected to the Next Generation Science

Standards. This training has supported our

teachers in designing lessons that embed

science and engineering practices and

crosscutting science concepts into their daily

instruction and assessments. Elementary

trimester acquisition units in English

Language Arts were also developed to

identify common trimester benchmarks in

content and skill for all students. Unified Arts

teachers collaborated across grades K-12 to

develop competency rubrics through an

articulated and fully aligned progression in

skills.

▪ At the secondary level, teachers and deans

continued to collaborate in PLCs and content

meetings to develop lesson plans and

performance assessments that require

students to apply and transfer their learning

to new and authentic tasks. Teachers also

received training in the development of

course-level assessment maps to ensure

alignment between classroom assessments

and course competencies. This process

supports the implementation of effective

competency-based assessment practices as

well as the collection of evidence of students’

abilities to meet course competencies.

▪ The high school administration continued to

monitor course offerings to ensure efficiency

connected to staffing and teaching loads. In

the fall, changes to course offerings, including

the addition or elimination of courses, were

proposed to the C&A Committee and the

School Board through the revised Program of

Studies.

d. Science Technology Engineering Arts and

Math (STEAM) - Continue to expand Pre-K-

12 STEAM opportunities and technology

implementation that promote the

development of 21st Century Skills such as

collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity

for students. Additionally, explore

differentiated enrichment opportunities to

meet the needs of all learner types, including

our most accelerated student learners.

GOAL SUMMARY: STEAM ENRICHMENT

▪ During the 2018-2019 year, the district

expanded STEAM opportunities for students

across grades pre-K-12 to promote the

development of 21st Century Skills. At the

secondary level, the TRHS Engineering

Advisory Board continued to meet and

allowed students and teachers to directly

interact with professional engineers in

industry. The Elementary Science Camp

program continued to run over April

vacation. Elementary science camps also ran

after school on multiple occasions in all

elementary schools. Elementary schools

received STEAM carts loaded with tools and

equipment as a means to spark interest in

STEAM education.

▪ Elementary science competencies were

reviewed and revised to facilitate a shift in

instructional practice to focus on the

development of skills from content heavy to a

focus on practice, TRSD brought in NGSX

training to all grade 3-6 teachers and many 7-

12 science teachers.

▪ Other initiatives include: After School Science

Camps at the elementary schools; April Break

STEAM camp with 26 3rd - 5th graders

participating (great sponsorship from Exxon

Mobil and an anonymous donor), and a very

successful first annual District Family STEAM

Night

e. Grading and Reporting - Continue to

develop a hybrid model for secondary

grading and reporting that reflects both a

traditional grade and information on student

competency acquisition with regard to both

curricula and Work Study Practices. Multi-

year goal with implementation target dates of


9 | P a g e

grade 6 in 2018-19, grades 7 and 8 in 2019-

20, and high school grades in 2020-21.

GOAL SUMMARY – GRADING AND REPORTING

▪ The secondary schools have begun a multi-

year process of transitioning to a new hybrid

model of grading and reporting that reflects a

traditional grade and information on student

competency acquisition. The middle school

met the 2018 target date in this goal and

transitioned to a new hybrid report card this

year. Parent information sessions were held

in the fall of 2018 and supporting materials

for the new report card were posted on the

school and district websites. Grades 7 and 8

are on track to transition to the new hybrid

report card in 2019-2020 and the high school

will adopt this new model in 2020-2021.

Ongoing teacher training and parent

information sessions will continue in the

coming years. The Secondary Grading and

Reporting Committee, comprised middle and

high school teachers as well as building and

district administrators, will continue to meet

to align practices and plan for staff, student,

and parental support throughout this

process.

2. CLIMATE, CULTURE and PUBLIC

RELATIONS

Work to improve the climate and culture through a variety of district and building level initiatives:

a. Evaluate current systems by way of critique

and analysis of historical practices, staff

survey results, and various nationwide

models, and develop new/revised practices

for providing a systemic program of job-

embedded, on-going, training that supports

educator development, collaborative

practices, educator empowerment, and

teacher retention.

GOAL SUMMARY – EVALUATE SYSTEMS

▪ The Climate & Culture Committee, which

includes district administrators, staff

members, a parent and a school board

member, established goals to help promote

an environment that is respectful,

empathetic, and responsible for the positive

engagement and growth of all stakeholders.

This group plans to elicit input from each

school’s staff, administration and student

body on a regular basis starting in the 2019-

2020 school year to drive future action and

consideration.

▪ This is also year one of the district’s System of

Care initiative to identify appropriate

methods to address issues and concerns that

impact students, families and staff. In the

summer of 2018, the district contracted with

grant funding a consultant to facilitate the

initial steps which included a survey to

identify and prioritize an effective System of

Care model.

▪ Groups that included school counselors,

nurses, school psychologists, behaviorists,

adjustment counselors, social workers and

student assistance counselors used the

results of the Tiered Fidelity Inventory to

target specific areas of need and goals at each

of the Elementary, Middle and High School

levels. The Middle and High School group

have focused on the need to increase RtI

options for students whereas the Elementary

level is looking at trauma informed care,

methods for screening tier II students and

evaluating efficacy of system wide incident

data.

▪ The Professional Development Committee

met regularly to review staff input from the

2018 survey and plan ongoing and job-

embedded professional development to meet

staff needs. Based on staff feedback, the

theme for the March 2019 PD day was Social

and Emotional Learning for Educators. This

day featured the staff introduction to the No

Bully Program as well as a vast array of

workshop options led by our district teachers

and a variety of professionals from outside

the district.

▪ Grade level Professional Learning

Communities continued to meet regularly in

buildings across the district. These groups

engaged in collaborative work through the

PLC cycle to identify and address student

needs through practices in Response to


10 | P a g e

Intervention. This ongoing collaborative

work supports educator development,

collaborative practices, and educator

empowerment.

b. Continue efforts to improve curb appeal by

tapping into community groups, clubs and

organizations to inspire unity and learning

and instill civic pride across the four

communities.

GOALS SUMMARY: CURB APPEAL AND TAPPING INTO COMMUNITY GROUPS

▪ Cleaner Greener Timberlane held events in

the fall of 2018 and the spring of 2019 at

individual schools. For the spring event we

accepted the offer of help from The Rock

Church to install new planting beds at the

parent drop off entrance area on Greenough

Rd. The intent is to greet all visitors with a

welcoming entrance. This is an ongoing

initiative.

▪ 2018-2019 is the first year of the transition of

the Timberlane Regional School District’s

Wellness Fair to the Plaistow YMCA. This

transition will benefit the community and all

of Timberlane by providing a larger venue

and the opportunity to host a greater number

of vendors as well as provide demonstrations

for a wide range of community members. This

event will continue to be an annual event. The

Wellness Fair subcommittee will meet on the

first Thursday of the month, every month, up

to the date of the Wellness Fair. The public

will continue be invited.

▪ 2018-2019 is also the year that a new Lion’s

Club organization has formed in the town of

Danville, NH. This partnership is in the

planning stages. The recommendation of a

community resource guide is also requested.

The Director of Pupil Personnel Services and

Special Education has committed to working

with the Danville Lion’s Club to complete this

guide in the 2019-2020 school year.

▪ The partnership with the Plaistow Pediatric

Dental program continues. In 2019, the

Dental program served students throughout

the district. This is the second year that the

Plaistow Pediatric Dental program has sought

new ways to support the Timberlane

Regional School District. The Dental program

has formed a non-profit organization, Granite

State Dental Program. Susan Rasicot,

Director of Pupil Personnel Services and

Special Education and Pollard School Lead

Nurse, Kate Sherman-DeRoche serve as

Board members.

▪ Dan Woodworth is working with the Plaistow

YMCA to coordinate a Ninja group from the

Timberlane Regional School District.

c. Increase capacity for understanding and

responding to adverse childhood

experiences, social-emotional well-being,

and addiction through professional learning

opportunities, and collaboration with

community resources and law enforcement.

GOALS SUMMARY: INCREASE UNDERSTANDING AND RESPOND TO ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES

▪ In the fall of 2018, the process of developing

the System of Care for Timberlane Regional

School District began with a grant written to

include the evaluation of the district’s current

system of care. The System of Care was then

presented to the school counselors,

behaviorists, school psychologists and school

social workers. This overview of System of

Care has led to building level evaluations with

the same building level professionals. Teams

are now developing systems to address

student and staff needs regarding Wellness.

▪ 2018-2019 was a year of continued focus on

the Adverse Childhood experiences. All

school counselors have this information

district wide and have used the Adverse

Childhood experiences to guide the

recommended supports for students.

d. Implement a comprehensive anti-bullying

intervention program to address student

bullying and harassment and develop district

wide uniform procedures as well as online

resources for parents and guardians to

navigate the reporting process.

GOAL SUMMARY – IMPLEMENT ANTI-BULLYING INTERVENTION PROGRAM


11 | P a g e

▪ In the summer of 2018, the Director of Pupil

Personnel Services and Special Education was

able to secure a two-year Anti-Bullying

program known as “No Bully.” The initial

presentation was to the community through

our TPAF forum. In the spring of 2019, the

entire Timberlane Professional Staff was

trained in the No Bully process. The

Timberlane Regional School District

paraeducators were given an overview of the

No Bully process during the May Early

Release Day. The No Bully program

presenters will be back in the summer to

support the newly appointed district

facilitators to promote NO Bully program.

e. Regularly attend Timberlane Parents

Advisory Forums (TPAF) as well as meet

with individuals (both parents and

community members alike) to emphasize the

availability of, and the public’s access to, the

Superintendent of Schools.

GOAL SUMMARY – ATTEND TPAF AND MAKE SELF AVAILABLE

▪ The Timberlane Parent Advisory Forum

hosted presentations on the topics of No

Bully, Internet Safety, and Vaping. Each event

was advertised through School Messenger

and flyers were distributed. TPAF sessions

were Livestreamed for the convenience of

families who were unable to attend the LIVE

event. The partnership between parents and

schools is a priority and we invite parents to

inquire, ask questions, offer suggestions, and

participate in their child’s learning

experiences.

▪ In addition to meeting with parents for in-

district transfers and tuition requests, Dr.

Metzler has scheduled appointments for

parents to express their concerns on different

topics and has communicated with

community officials by way of phone or

appointment.

f. Promote district actions and activities

through social media platforms.

GOAL SUMMARY – PROMOTING DISTRICT ACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES

▪ The district continues to use a multitude of

platforms to inform students, parents, and

community members. These platforms

include Twitter, Facebook, the Timberlane

App, TRSD.TV, Livestream, Vimeo, and Press

Releases that are disseminated to district

schools, websites, and community libraries

and town offices.

3. FACILITIES and TECHNOLOGY

IMPROVEMENTS

Collaborate with appropriate committees, boards and departments to:

a. Conduct a facilities’ needs assessment that

can be used to assist in determining and

prioritizing future facility improvements.

GOAL SUMMARY – FACILITIES NEEDS ASSESSMENT

▪ A long-term facilities’ steering committee was

formed immediately after the Timberlane

School Board adopted the Strategic Plan on

September 20, 2019. The committee has

completed a needs assessment based on age

of equipment, engineering recommendations

for expected useful life expectancy, and needs

for future programming and activities. A

facilities inventory of equipment,

infrastructure, and finishes was produced. All

Principals produced a space utilization map

for their respective buildings. An executive

summary was provided to the School Board

on April 18, 2019.

b. Develop a facilities improvement plan

consistent with the Strategic Plan in the areas

of safety and security, athletic and sport’s

needs, and space and program needs.

GOAL SUMMARY – FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT PLAN

▪ The recommendation to the School Board

was to move the Facilities Master Plan

forward consistent with the District Strategic

Plan and to engage a design professional to

begin planning options to satisfy the

disparities and upgrades to our facilities. A

design professional would have the ability to

provide solid price estimates, examine code

compliance, and assist the District with

developing a project for the long-term


12 | P a g e

improvements required. The facility needs

assessment that was conducted has enough

information to present to a design firm to

define parameters to begin designing a

project. This goal is still in progress.

c. Continue to support the district’s Capital

Improvement and Technology plans by

providing the necessary information to keep

these plans updated, ensure the projects

submitted align with these plans, and provide

the necessary staffing for the implementation

of these plans.

GOAL SUMMARY: CIP AND TECHNOLOGY PLANS

▪ The Capital Improvement Plan Committee

met throughout the year and was able to

identify projects to move forward to the

Timberlane Regional School District Budget

Committee and the Timberlane Regional

School Board during budget deliberations for

the 2019-20 school year. The needs

assessment that was compiled under goal 3a

was presented at the most recent CIP meeting

on 4/17/2019. This needs assessment will be

a valuable tool to forecast facility and site

needs for the next twenty years.

▪ The district’s Technology Advisory

Committee which meets quarterly is charged

with maintaining the newly developed five-

year Technology plan. The committee will

continue to update the plan on a yearly basis

as needed.

d. Implement online payment and web form

system for parents and guardians to be able

to sign up for and/or pay for district products

and services to replace using paper copies

and checks.

GOAL SUMMARY: ONLINE PAYMENT AND WEB FORM SYSTEM

▪ In the summer of 2018 TRSD, implemented

an online payment system for Middle and

High School parents and guardians to be able

to purchase Chromebook protection plans

and accessories like protective cases. The

system chosen was the one provided by

Heartland Payment Systems, the parent

company of Nutrikids and MySchoolBucks,

both of which are already utilized in the

district. This online system allows for

parents and guardians to use a credit card or

e-checks to purchase the aforementioned

Chromebook related products and to also fill

out necessary permissions forms and

contracts online. The system was highly

utilized and very well received with a lot of

positive feedback for not having to write out

checks or fill out paper forms. This project

aligns with one of the district’s and

technology department’s goals to establish

efficient and cost-effective processes for

parents and the schools.

e. Upgrade and migrate the time attendance

and accountability system to be securely

cloud hosted and increase compatibility with

the district’s financial system.

GOAL SUMMARY: UPGRADE AND MIGRATE TIME ATTENDANCE SYSTEM

▪ TRSD completed a project to move our time

attendance and accountability system to the

cloud hosted version of TimeClockPlus. The

benefits of moving to a cloud hosted system

are numerous. The servers that host our time

systems are now hosted in state-of-the-art

facilities with best of breed security measures

and redundant power and Internet

connections. Being a hosted customer

provides the district access and immediate

implementation to the latest application

updates and security patches that are applied

to our system automatically. Also, by moving

to this system we can shut down and remove

costly and energy inefficient servers that

require the district to maintain backup and

cooling systems to support them.

f. Improve performance and stability for

Internet connections at all schools to

support online learning resources.

GOAL SUMMARY: IMPROVE PERFORMANCE FOR INTERNET

▪ Going back to 2017-18, the district put out bids

for the federal e-rate system to look at moving

to fiber Internet connections at all schools and

the SAU. The district was able to secure those

connections and during last summer fiber


13 | P a g e

Internet connections were installed in all

seven schools and at the SAU building. These

connections are much more robust and stable

than the previous cable modems and T1

connections of the past. By being able to cancel

the expensive and antiquated T1 connections

the district is now paying less on a monthly

basis than in the past for Internet connectivity.

Teachers, students and staff have all

recognized the performance increase and

stability that learning and doing business in

these times demands.

4. BUSINESS and BUDGETING

a. Implement recommendations of outside

consultant on staffing and workflow to

achieve better analytical review and control

over the finance function, provide better end

user response and support, and enhance

internal controls.

GOAL SUMMARY – OUTSIDE BUSINESS CONSULTANT

▪ The District’s outside consultant has

recommended training and utilizing existing

Finance Department staff to take on additional

responsibilities to enhance work completion

timelines, to enhance internal controls, and to

provide greater response for user support.

▪ Finance department staff are now able to

process and generate journal entries directly

to the general ledger software, which is then

routed through an electronic workflow to be

approved by the CFO/Business Administrator.

The additional training and process

implementation has increased productivity,

increased ownership and understanding of the

financial system, and has enhanced internal

controls. Finance staff have been trained on

bank reconciliation processes.

Responsibilities have been dispersed among

finance staff to ensure adequate internal

control.

b. Implement new time recording and

tracking system that integrate seamlessly

with the districts’ enterprise system, Infinite

Visions, and enhances security and better

meets the needs of the district.

GOAL SUMMARY – TIME RECORDING AND TRACKING SYSTEM

▪ The District had previously utilized an

outdated and unsupported version of Time

Clock Plus (TCP) which was hosted on local

servers. The District has successfully

transitioned to a newer system that is web-

based, hosted in the cloud, and has integrated

seamlessly with our existing hardware and

software infrastructure. In addition to a more

user-friendly interface, the system is

integrated with our budgeting software.

Payroll processing of employee time has been

enhanced.

c. Provide Support to Budget Committee and

School Board in budget development and

default budget development by working with

budget owners to identify needs and

opportunities in the budgeting process,

providing and working within a timeline for

budget development with the respective

boards, and providing the necessary

documentation and support to move forward

on those budgets.

GOAL SUMMARY – SUPPORT BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

▪ During the budget development cycle, the

Business Office interfaced with department

and budget owners, administration, the

Budget Committee and School Board. A

budget presentation timeline was developed.

More time was permitted for Budget

Committee review and discussion of

department level budgets during meetings by

scheduling building and campus tours on

non-budget committee meeting nights.

▪ Several new department budget reviews

were requested, namely the School Board

Budget and the Budget Committee’s Budget,

neither of which had been separated out in

such a manner before. The review process

between School Board and Budget Committee

produced fruitful discussion and enhanced

both the knowledge of those budgets and the

budget development process for future years.

▪ After department budgets were largely

prepared, informal guidance was provided


14 | P a g e

from the Budget Committee and School Board

which necessitated an additional round of

department budget meetings and reviews.

Once completed, budgets were posted to the

Budget Committee meeting space on

SharePoint in PDF and excel. The additional

budget preparation appeared to meet with

Budget Committee expectations, and as such,

the Budget Committee was able to focus on

specific areas of the budget for analysis,

review, and adjustment.

▪ The business office created a Default Budget

at a function/object level for the School

Board’s review. The nature of the existing

year operating budget being a default budget

created some challenges with budget detail at

the function/object level. Changes were

articulated in a more concise schedule for

review.

d. In an effort to meet a stated goal of the School

Board, develop and present a level-funded

2019-20 proposed budget for School Board

and Budget Committee consideration.

GOAL SUMMARY – LEVEL FUNDED BUDGET

▪ At the time of the development of this School

Board goal, department budgets were in final

stages of preparation. The CFO/Business

Administrator then met with department

budget owners to articulate the School Board

goal to have those budgets match School

Board goal. The budgets were reviewed, and

changes were made prior to presentation of

department budgets to the Budget

Committee.

e. When feasible, provide business

documents associated with School Board

agendas at least five days in advance of board

meetings.

GOAL SUMMARY – BUSINESS DOCUMENTS

▪ To the extent possible, finance documents

were provided with the School Board

packages five days in advance of board

meetings. A general exception was monthly

revenue and expenditure reports, which were

published to the School Board site once

available on a monthly basis.

IN CLOSING, it takes a tremendous amount of

energy, focus and commitment to facilitate the

kinds of district-wide improvements we

undertake here at Timberlane. I want to

personally extend my thanks to our entire staff

for sharing in this vision of constant

improvement and working towards the

betterment of our schools and community.

SUPERINTENDENT’S LEADERSHIP TEAM REPORT

The reports of the Superintendent’s Leadership

Team by department are as follows:

HUMAN RESOURCES

Nancy Louiselle, Director

One of the central goals of the Human Resources

Department is to effectively administer benefit

plans to all eligible staff members and make it a

priority to promote a district-wide climate of fair

and equal treatment of all employees. To that end,

the Human Resources team communicates on

benefits, employee rights, wellness programs,

payroll and benefits processes, and retirement

information. Utilizing an employee portal

(Employee Self-Serve – ESS), we offer electronic

enrollment in the District insurance programs as

well as the ability for employees to provide up-to-

date personal data. This online portal also allows

staff members to access their benefits and payroll

information at all times.

Significant accomplishments in the 2018-19

school year include successfully recruiting and

on-boarding over eighty new staff members and

fifty-eight substitutes. The Human Resources

team administered benefit packages for over 826

active members and 333 retirees. We also

conducted criminal background checks on all

school volunteers. The department held open

enrollment meetings at each of the schools and

supported the wellness programs for all staff.

One of the highlights of each year is honoring our

retirees with a retirement celebration, where we

shared in the recognition of their many

accomplishments throughout years of dedication

to the students of the Timberlane schools.

PUPIL PERSONNEL/SPECIAL EDUCATION

Susan Rasicot, Director

The Special Education Department continues to

ensure that all eligible students with a disability

in grades PK-12 receive a “free and appropriate

public education,” including extended Year

Summer Programming. Each of our district

schools are staffed with special education

teachers, paraprofessionals, and related service

providers who deliver high quality, research-

based interventions and specialized instruction

in reading, math, and writing to assist students

with achieving their Individual Education Plan

goals.

Elementary district programs that address

specific types of learning needs including Autism,

Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities and Intensive

Needs are housed in specific schools and all

students come together at the secondary level.

This current structure allows the district to best

utilize our resources to meet individual student

needs and educate more of our students within

the district. These district programs along with

all special education programming will continue

to be monitored to address effectiveness of these

programs.

Left to right: Ken Henderson – Technology Director, Nancy Louiselle – Director of Human Resources, Dr. Earl Metzler – Superintendent of Schools, Susan Rasicot – Director of Pupil Personnel Services and Special Education, Geoff Dowd – CFO/Business Administrator, and Sandra Allaire – Director of Curriculum, Assessment and Professional Learning.

Two years ago, the Timberlane district completed

the Compliance and Improvement Monitoring

process by the New Hampshire Department of

Education. The New Hampshire Department of

Education has approved the Timberlane Regional

School District’s special education program. The

next review of Timberlane’s system of special

education compliance will be in five years, spring

of 2022. Because of this process, professionals

have formed effective partnerships with the New

Hampshire Department of Education trainers and

continue to schedule sessions to improve their

expertise to meet the ever-changing needs of our

students.

The Timberlane Learning Center preschool and

kindergarten located at the Sandown Central

School continues their focus on providing quality

evidence-based programs for all students. A

continued focus of social-emotional learning as

well as providing specialized supports for

students and families in all programming. The

team of professionals in this program continue to

use grant funding to address their goal of meeting

all students’ needs.

The Middle School continues to use the training of

Universal Design from the New Hampshire

Department of Education. The primary focus is to

continue the learning that was introduced and

apply to new content areas to reach all learning

styles.

The High School continues to provide Extended

Learning Opportunities for our special education

students. The counselors and teachers continue

to support students looking to access this type of

learning experience. These initiatives along with

the hard work of all professional members of our

staff lead to an effective learning experience for

all of our students.

In 2017-18, Student Services continued the focus

on building collaborative supports both in the

Timberlane District as well as in our four towns.

This focus continues through the partnership

with the Department of Health and Human

Services and a local community family to identify

local and district need to address drug and

alcohol misuse. Through continued support, the

George Family of Atkinson, NH has allowed the

district to improve programming for students,

families and the community. The district has

been able to secure guest speakers and begin the

process of reviewing programming around

bullying. The generosity and support of our

community members also models both the desire

to have a cohesive, supportive environment for

all.

A new partnership has been developed in the area

of Health and Wellness. A new non-profit

organization has been formed, The Granite State

Dental program. This organization provides

dental screenings and medical assistance to

students in the district. Both Kathleen Sherman-

DeRoche and Susan Rasicot are members of the

Board. The program has branched out to

students in the Danville and Atkinson schools

along with the Pollard Elementary School.

Through our TPAF forum we have supported the

awareness of families regarding Bullying laws,

drug and alcohol misuse, and successful

transitions by focusing on workshops for parents

and students in the seventh grade. Guest

speakers have been in our classrooms to share

their knowledge of community service as a way to

support positive outcomes for students. We have

also had professional development for staff

regarding Reactive Attachment Disorder and

effective targeted means to support students.

There is a continued focus for support focused on

social and emotional development.

This year our school psychologists, nurses,

behaviorists and social workers have met to

begin a review of intervention practices

throughout the district. This collaboration will

continue through the next year as we begin to

look at practices that will support student

development from K-12. This focus on building

the Timberlane community to address the needs

of our students and we look forward to continued

improvements in the upcoming year.

TECHNOLOGY

Ken Henderson, Director

The 2018-19 school year continued TRSD’s goal

to strive for the most cost effective, safest, and

robust technology to offer our students and staff.


17 | P a g e

We continued our Dedicated Device Initiative, in

which incoming 6th and 9th graders received a

new Chromebook for use both in their classes and

at home. This program has been a huge success.

Teachers now have confidence to integrate more

technology into their classrooms and lesson plans

knowing that their students will have the devices

to support that. As this century progresses,

having the ability to successfully and efficiently

use technology in higher education, and within all

job fields, becomes more and more desirable and

important.

We removed all the older, expensive and

antiquated T1 and cable modem Internet

connections at all the schools for high speed and

robust fiber connections. This project took place

over the summer of 2018 and was hugely

successful in helping to provide solid and robust

connections to all students and staff in the

district. This was especially important with the

number of devices in the schools increasing every

year.

Another improvement was the configuration of

an online school store in MySchoolBucks for the

purposes of parents being able to purchase

Chromebook protection plans online with a credit

card or e-check. This was a huge first step in

moving more district systems and services to

online payment methods. The MySchoolBucks

platform provides the district with the ability to

accept all major credit cards and electronic

banking checks. This new system is tied into

Nutrikids which allows parents to fund lunches so

most parents in the district already have logins

into this new school store system.

During 2018-2019 the district also finished

revamping all 8 of its school and district websites.

The new websites are easier to navigate and have

less duplication of information and documents.

We are continuing to add functionality and

improve users experience with these websites as

we get feedback and fine tune features.

Finally, the district finished implementing a

cloud-based document scanning and storage

solution. This will allow documents that were

stored in file cabinets to be safely and securely

scanned into a cloud-based system for unlimited

storage with expansion as needed. This new

system allows authorized personnel to easily

search and find relevant information. Being cloud

based instead of paper based provides a secure

location that is safe from building level disasters

such as fires or flooding.

I am so excited and proud of the steps we have

made in the past few years. Our Technology team

will always work to make sure our students and

staff have a safe, efficient, and enjoyable

environment in which to learn.

CURRICULUM, ASSESSMENT, AND

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING (CAPL K-12)

Sandra Allaire, Director

2018-2019 marked another successful year of

new learning and growth for our students and

staff across the Timberlane Regional School

District. Timberlane educators remain

committed to the themes of Rigor, Accountability,

Evaluation, and Support. Our rigorous

competency-based curriculum is fully aligned

across grades pre-K-12 to help students to

progressively learn and develop college and

career readiness skills for a competitive and

globalized world. In our classrooms, students

regularly engage in challenging inquiry-based

learning experiences that support the

development of essential content knowledge and

the acquisition of 21st Century Skills such as

problem-solving, collaboration, critical thinking,

and communication.

During the 2018-2019 year, our teachers

continued their focus on effective competency-

based instruction and the development of

assessments that enable our students to

demonstrate their skills and knowledge in

authentic and relevant ways. Teachers, deans,

and curriculum coordinators continued their

collaborative work on the design and

implementation of competency rubrics,

performance assessments, and personalized

instruction to enhance learning for all students.

Under the guidance of our Director of Elementary

Curriculum and our curriculum coordinators,

elementary classroom teachers had

opportunities to meet with their grade-level


18 | P a g e

colleagues across the district to develop

instructional units and share best practices in the

area of mathematics. At the secondary level,

teachers worked collaboratively on the

development of assessment maps, which connect

both formative and summative assessments to

course competencies, to ensure close alignment

between what is taught and assessed at each

grade level.

Our continued work in curriculum, instruction,

and assessment was closely connected to ongoing

changes across the district in the area of grading

and reporting. 2018-2019 was the second year of

implementation of a competency-based report

card for grades K-5. Our Elementary Report

Committee met throughout the year to further

develop and enhance our elementary grading and

reporting procedures. In accordance with the

2018-2023 Timberlane Regional School District

Strategic Plan, our secondary schools developed a

three-year plan to transition to a new hybrid

report card that reflects both a traditional grade

and supplemental information on students’

competency acquisition. This new online report

card was implemented across grade 6 during the

2018-2019 school year, with plans to expand to

grades 7-8 in 2019-2020. Our Director of

Secondary Curriculum and academic deans

worked closely with all grade 6 teachers to

provide both training and support in this new

platform. Timberlane Regional Middle School

hosted a parent information night on the new

hybrid report card in the fall of 2018 and also

posted online resources for parents and students

regarding this transition.

2018-2019 marked the second year of

implementation of the extended learning block

schedule across grades 6 through 12. The

Curriculum and Assessment Committee

monitored the implementation of the extended

learning block through monthly updates that

included data on student learning as well as

student and teacher feedback on successes in the

classroom and professional development needs.

Across our district schools, teachers continued to

integrate instructional tools and programs that

both support and enhance student learning in a

purposeful and thoughtful manner. These

include EnVisions Math, Lexia, MobyMax,

Achieve3000, Khan Academy, Reader’s and

Writer’s Workshop, and other web-based

platforms.

The Timberlane Foreign Language in the

Elementary School (FLES) program expanded to

engage students across grades K-4 in the study of

Spanish. Due to the interdisciplinary and

communicative nature of the FLES program,

these students continue to make important and

relevant connections between Spanish and the

content that is learned in other disciplines. The

FLES Transition Committee, comprised of FLES

teachers and secondary teachers, as well as

building and district-level administrators, began

meeting in the fall of 2018 to prepare for the

arrival of the current FLES students at the middle

school in the fall of 2020. This committee met

monthly to consider and plan for necessary

changes to the current grade 6 Spanish

curriculum. The ongoing work of this committee

will ensure a seamless transition for these

students as they continue to develop their

Spanish language proficiency in the areas of

reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

During the 2018-2019 year, our district

continued to offer diverse and exciting

opportunities for our educators to learn, share

their knowledge, and enhance their professional

growth in support of all learners. Teams of

educators worked in Professional Learning

Communities (PLCs) to develop and share best

practices in curriculum, instruction, and

assessment. Our elementary teachers engaged in

training in the math workshop model. These

elementary teachers, along with many of our

secondary science teachers, were also trained in

the NGSX (Next Generation Science Exemplar)

approach to science instruction.

2018-2019 marked year 1 of implementation of

the No Bully Program. All district administrators

and staff were trained in this evidence-based

program to both recognize and address bullying

and promote positive behaviors in our schools. In

conjunction with this work, our March 2019

Professional Development Day focused on the


19 | P a g e

theme of Social Emotional Learning. The day

featured over 20 different workshops options

presented by our own professional staff,

representatives from the NH Department of

Education’s Bureau of Student Wellness, and

other experts in the fields of mental health and

student wellness.

The Timberlane Executive Leadership Academy

(TELA) continued to provide ongoing monthly

professional development to our district and

school leaders. TELA sessions during the 2018-

2019 year were focused on training in the No

Bully Program as well as special education.

Leaders had opportunities to engage in

conversations related to special education law

and special education case studies. All district

leaders also participated in a monthly book-study

of the Innovator’s Mindset, by George Couros,

which enabled all involved to consider strategies

to both promote and support innovation and

creativity in our schools and with our staff and

students.

The Timberlane Parent Advisory Forum (TPAF)

provided multiple occasions for parents, staff,

and community members to gather and learn

about topics of common interest. 2018-2019

TPAF topics included “No Bully: How to Bully-

Proof your Child,” “Vaping 101: What Parents

Need to Know,” “Internet Safety,” and “Raising

Resilient Children.” TPAF sessions present

important opportunities for our schools to work

in partnership with parents to support our

students and families across the district.

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION REPORT

Timberlane elementary schools were active with the development of the whole child. District wide training

in No Bully, as well as other social emotional professional development, gave our staff opportunities to help

make sure our students were ready to learn. Science and mathematics instruction were a district focus and

professional learning opportunities were offered in NGSX science and guided math. Each of the elementary

schools benefited from working collaboratively during the professional development days. Having these

opportunities provided educators time to collaborate in order to further their knowledge and instructional

practices. Academically, elementary action plans continued to focus on both math and literacy with

increased expectations based on district wide benchmarking data. As always, the elementary schools

focused on parent and community involvement. 2018-19 was the first year for our new process related to

designated volunteers and all district elementary schools were pleased with the number of parents who

applied to volunteer in our schools. The combined work of our elementary schools allowed us to meet both

the academic and social-emotional needs of our students.

ATKINSON ACADEMY

Kathleen Dayotis, Principal

The 2018-2019 school

year started off

with 344 students

returning from a

long summer

break. Our staff

had fun with

their new

students by

providing activities

around each of the summer grade-

level reading books. Following tradition, the third

grade visited Adventurelore for a great day of

bonding at the start of school.

The first assembly of the school year was

dedicated to the theme of “Challenge”. This was

part of our schoolwide CARES theme – Challenge,

Acceptance, Responsibility, Empathy and Self-

Control. Each day during morning

announcements, the Pledge of Allegiance, our

“Kindness Pledge”, and a quote or short story was

read to the students related to the theme of

Challenge.

Our Enrichment Day activities were centered

around the challenges during the Wild West

times. Atkinson community members and

families supported our students by helping with a

variety of meaningful activities. This was

certainly a challenge in our country’s history in

which people were traveling across the country

to settle in parts unknown. The settlers faced

many challenges and were forced to demonstrate

grit and perseverance in order to succeed.

Students had a chance to make covered wagons,

play games, pan for gold, engage in quilting, and

learn songs written during that time period.

Our teachers attended many workshops related

to “No Bully” as well as other social, emotional

workshops during our professional development

days, which gave our staff opportunities to help

our students to be ready to learn.

Our action plan focused on early literacy skills

and math opportunities. We provided our staff

time to collaborate so they could further their

knowledge and instructional practices. We

increased our expectations in math and literacy,

based on district and schoolwide benchmarking

data.

Because we know that all students don’t

approach learning in the same way, we

introduced personalized learning in grades one

through five in reading. This allowed teachers to

customize learning for each student based on

their strengths, needs, skills and interests.

Throughout the school year, Atkinson Academy

students engaged in school clubs such as Chorus,


21 | P a g e

Legos, Games, Ski, Jump Rope, and Girls on the

Run as well as other enriching activities that

promote healthy lifestyles and community

involvement. Cleaner Greener Timberlane was

supported this year by several Eagle Scout

projects. One Scout planted shrubs in the quiet

area out front of the school, allowing for privacy

as the students use the new sheltered white

board built and designed by another Scout. Both

projects allow for teachers to take their students

outside for a sketching or writing class while

enjoying nature.

This year we said good-by to a special staff

member, Margaret (Peggy) Quinn, who worked

with our Intensive Needs students for close to

twenty years. She will be remembered by our

students for her love, kindness, and caring of the

students along with her love of reading- always

trying to find that unique book to interest her

students. A lighthouse in our garden was

dedicated in her memory.

Once again, thank you to the parents, PTA, Night

Owls and all our outside “Partners” such as the

Fire Department, Police Department, Atkinson

Women’s Civic Club and Lions Club members that

support our children so they can be successful in

all aspects of life.

The Academy is special to all our students. Our

staff, parents and community continue to provide

a safe and happy environment no matter what is

happening in the world around us. I’m very

grateful for the dedicated staff that provide a solid

academic foundation and the best learning

experiences for every student each day.

DANVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Meghan Corcoran, Acting Principal

Danville school kicked off

the 2018-2019 school

year with 280

students ready and

eager to learn! Our

students and staff

began the year with

a Meet the Teacher

Night, where students

were able to check out their

classrooms and say hello to their new teacher.

We continued to build our school community by

having Whole-School Morning Meetings and

using these as a chance to come together and

celebrate our successes and practice our core

values of respect, responsibility, and pride.

The Danville PTA continued to be an active part

in our school community. With their support, for

the 31st year in a row, Danville School received

the Blue Ribbon Award for Volunteerism. Many

family favorite events this year included our

Back-to-School BBQ, Mother & Son Dodgeball,

The Holiday Store, and Bingo for Books. These

events are a hit with families and provide another

opportunity for families and school to connect.

The Danville staff worked hard to provide

students with many different STEM opportunities

this year. Our fourth and fifth grade students had

the chance to visit the UNH Chase Ocean

Engineering Laboratory in Durham, NH. While

there, students were able to talk with scientists,

operate an ROV, handle sea creatures, and so

much more! Later on in the year, the UNH

Stembassadors came to our school to challenge

some of our students to design a theme park ride

and design a drone drop. Students were tasked to

work collaboratively to imagine, build, test, and

improve their designs until they were able to

solve the problem. After school, staff members

planned a Science Camp for interested students.

Through these hands-on sessions, students were

able to extend their learning about air and

magnetism.

Teachers continued their work in their

Professional Learning Communities as a way to

look at student data and make instructional

decisions. This dedicated time allowed teachers

to collaborate and refine interventions for

student success. One addition we made this year

was to include another adult, such as a Unified

Arts teacher or paraprofessional, during all

classroom Tier 2 math instruction. This allowed

students to receive additional support in needed

areas in math.

Staff and students continued their work with

empathy and kindness. Our school librarian spent

time going in every classroom to teach different


22 | P a g e

social emotional skills to students through the

use of children’s books. Students used what they

learned and created a beautiful Empa“TREE” for

our front lobby. Through this process, students

shared the different ways they could show, or had

shown, empathy to others. The Plymouth State

TIGER (Theater Integrating Guidance, Education,

and Responsibility) Program came to visit our

Danville students. Through music, dance, and

theater, they brought positive messages to our

students about kindness, empathy, and respect.

Danville School continues to work hard at

providing our students with many opportunities

to enrich their learning. This year, we offered not

only our afterschool Science Camp, but also

Speedstacking Club, and Chess Club. Through

collaboration with the Danville Police

Department, we offered the DARE program to our

fifth-grade students. The program was used to

support our students in giving them the skills

they need to make positive choices. The police

department also brought us RAD Kids for our

second-grade students. This optional program

helped develop students’ critical thinking

abilities and physical resistance skills, and

provided the opportunity for children to

recognize, avoid, and resist potentially dangerous

situations.

The 2018-2019 school year brought two full

enrichment days to our students: Around the

World and Career Day. On Career Day, students

were encouraged to dress up in an outfit that

showed a career they were interested in or just

wanted to learn more about. We also welcomed

many guest speakers who taught students all

about different careers, including working at an

aquarium, being a physical therapist, counselor,

author, and many, many more! This day also

included Stuart Fuches, a ukulele player, who

played for students and talked about his career as

a musician. Students were also treated to a day

of learning “Around the World.” This enrichment

day included an assembly by the New England

Percussion Ensemble who shared a multicultural

musical performance. Students were able to

choose from a wide variety of topics throughout

the day such as Chinese New Year, Endangered

Animals, African Adventure, 7 Wonders of the

World, and Games from Around the World. Both

days were fun-filled and exciting opportunities

for our Danville community.

Teachers continued their work in their

Professional Learning Communities as a way to

look at student data and make instructional

decisions. This dedicated time allowed teachers

to collaborate and refine interventions for

student success. One addition we made this year

was to include another teacher or

paraprofessional during all classroom Tier 2

math instruction. This allowed students to

receive additional support in needed areas in

math.

During the 2018-2019 school year, all elementary

schools focused on cultivating positive learning

environments within each school community as

measured by the Tripod student perceptions

survey. As based on our school data, the Danville

staff selected to focus our efforts on captivating

our students. Throughout the year, teachers took

videos and pictures to capture the exciting

learning opportunities that happened every day

in our building. All of these examples were

compiled into a movie that was screened at our

red-carpet event! Through the presentation,

teachers and students made connections

between what they learned in the classroom and

what they practice each day in their unified arts

classes. This film highlighted to the importance

of the arts (visual, music, physical, computer

science, etc.) in our students' educational

experiences. Everyone in attendance developed a

true sense of all of the work we are doing to

captivate our students on a day to day basis.

POLLARD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Douglas Blay, Principal

Pollard School students

and staff began the

18-19 school year

with a renewed

focus on grit and

perseverance.

The theme for the

year was, “Without

the grit there is no

pearl!” Staff focused the beginning of the year on


23 | P a g e

helping students see the importance of always

trying and never giving up. The school became an

ocean of possibilities as students dove to find the

pearl created by their grit. We all discovered that

there is no better feeling than not giving up and

getting to that moment when we can say, “I can!”

Pollard School teachers were excited by the

opportunities offered to them by the district to

help them focus on improving both math and

science instruction. Our teachers were trained in

Next Generation Science instructional practices.

This training focused on the use of scientific

phenomena in classroom instruction. Teachers

used these phenomena to lead their classes in

conversations that were both deep and broad in

scope. In math, teachers at Pollard continued to

focus on moving math instruction toward a

guided math approach. This model helped

teachers examine the specific mathematical skills

of their students. Teachers were then better able

to differentiate instruction so that all students

were taught in a way that allowed them to grow

their specific skillsets. The guided math

instruction helped our students to be more

engaged and we observed a better overall

attitude toward math!

Pollard School continued to focus on our three

core values: Respect, Responsibility and Safety.

Throughout the 2018-2019 school year the staff

worked exceptionally hard to make sure that

these values remained a constant focus. Pollard

School’s Universal Team reviewed behavioral

data during their monthly meetings and created

opportunities to help our students grow socially

and emotionally. This included rolling out skits to

help students better understand their roles as

Pollard School community members.

Pollard’s year was exciting for our students with

many special events. Recycled Percussion visited

our school and lead us in a scavenger hunt.

Students who found eggs hidden by the group

were able to donate money to a charity of their

choice. This activity helped students build

empathy and created the capacity to understand

that we are all part of a larger world. Our

enrichment night was centered on the theme of

“Gettin’ Gritty with It.” Students took on

challenging activities that could only be

completed if they used their stamina and grit.

Pollard School also celebrated “Pink Day” in

honor of retiring school principal Michelle Auger.

The school day included all things pink, Principal

Auger’s favorite color, to thank her for her

fourteen years as principal of Pollard School.

Pollard School is fortunate to have such

supportive families and community members.

Our PTA continued to do exceptional work

making sure that our families were engaged in the

community. Pancake breakfasts, spaghetti

dinners and Special Person Day were some of the

favorite activities. Our parents continued to

support us with an exceptional amount of

volunteering, event organizing and classroom

support. 2018-2019 was especially great because

of our entire Pollard community!

During the 2019-2020 school year Pollard School

will focus on academics and social/emotional

learning. We will be making sure that our Pollard

penguins can S.W.I.M (stay safe, work it out,

independent learner, make good choices). We

will help our students see that a dream doesn’t

become a reality through magic; it takes sweat,

commitment and hard work!

TLC @ SANDOWN CENTRAL SCHOOL

Jennifer Marino, Principal

In 2018-2019, Sandown

Central was busy in its

fourth year of

operation as a

preschool and

kindergarten

building. We were

pleased that an

increase in enrollment

called for the addition of a new full-

day kindergarten. Staff members worked

diligently to improve instructional practices and

continued to build, foster and enjoy our positive

climate and culture. Along with increasing

academic success, our building focus for the year

was to develop students’ social skills and

emotional acumen.


24 | P a g e

Our Leadership Team, which includes parents,

teachers and para-educators, developed our

Social Emotional Vision statement. This mission

statement, along with our school goals, were the

catalyst to drive our work for the year. The No

Bully and iSocial programs supported students’

social emotional development as well as

strengthened the instructional practices of the

staff. Sandown Central held a professional

development opportunity open to the Timberlane

lower elementary staff. The purpose of this

training was to support educators in working

with students facing trauma. Dr. Jenessa Deleault

facilitated this three-part training under the

guidance of Dr. Cassie Yackley. Along with staff

professional development, educating and

supporting families was a focus goal for the

school. Families were invited to our district

Parenting Fair that was held in April. This

amazing platform showcased ten stations for

families to visit and receive verbal and written

information regarding childhood development,

sensory needs, establishing/managing routines,

supporting independence, maintaining

boundaries, and supporting academics.

Our school continued to focus on respect,

responsibility and safety as our three Positive

Behavioral Intervention and Supports goals. Our

“Hoot Note” system was used as our school-wide

data tool to track student behavior and help

communicate with parents. We are happy that

one of our school business partners, Triple Elm,

continues to grant ice cream certificates to

students with positive Hoot Notes.

Like the other elementary schools, we assessed

our students’ early literacy skills through STAR

and the Heggerty Screener. These data points

help teachers establish where the students are in

math and early literacy and steps to take to

improve students’ academic success. Since our

learners are the youngest in the district, we spent

the year analyzing our lessons to ensure they

were the most engaging for kids. For this reason,

we chose our Tripod goal for the year to be

“Challenge”. One way we accomplished this was

through our vast collection of play-based bins.

These bins are filled with materials that captivate

the kids’ interests in areas like baking, space

exploration, running a store, construction and

archeology. While playing, students develop

math and language skills along with working

cooperatively and building higher-level and

problem-solving skills. Our collection of over

twenty-five bins allowed all teachers to

seamlessly create student-led activities that were

multi-modal and multi-sensory.

Our Scholastic Book Fair and Square One art

fundraiser not only raised money, but also

incorporated the arts and literacy for children

and their families. To support the ability to

decompress and focus, students engaged in a

series of yoga sessions that really made an

impact. Through the dedication of the staff, we

established a sensory room. With adult support

and modeling, this room was equipped with tools

to help students calm their mind and body and be

able to learn.

Making memories for children as well as their

families is always a goal at Sandown Central. A

highlight from fall/winter was our Halloween

parade and dance, Grandparents’ Day, and the

Polar Express Adventure. Our fall and spring

Cleaner Greener events were a true community

experience where our local partners, the

Sandown Police Department and the Rock

Church, helped to clean our school grounds. The

Rock Church also generously donated a brand-

new laminator to the school that was put to good

use immediately. Through our continued

collaboration with Timberlane High School, the

“Big Owls” came to the school to read with

students and to model good behavior through

skits at our assemblies. The Preschoolers loved

their Fairytale Ball which culminated a month-

long study of fairytales. A favorite event for all

students was field day held in June. This outdoor

athletic event was community driven and

supported by parents, families and the Sandown

PTA.

As we continue to grow as a school community,

our enthusiasm and dedication to the building

increase as well. We thank the community for its

continued support and look forward to the

accomplishments of the next year.

SANDOWN NORTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Nancy Stafford, Principal

At Sandown North, the

2018-2019 school

year was not only

one of new

beginnings, but

also provided our

school community

the opportunity to

reevaluate our practices

and traditions. Our staff focus (also

communicated to students) was Remembering

Our Why. We started the school year off

considering the importance of understanding our

“why” by discussing questions such as: Why did

we choose to work in education? What helps us

keep our passion and excitement? This

consistent focus on our educational purpose

invigorated our staff and helped us to provide our

students with relevant, meaningful, engaging

learning experiences throughout the year. In the

spring, under the direction and guidance of our

art teacher Mrs. Lenihan, each member of our

staff created a picture depicting their “why.”

These works of art were framed and now hang in

our front hallway, welcoming visitors. Some of

our staff’s “whys” include: “I am here to share and

inspire” and “I teach for the lightbulb moments!”

Our annual school-wide theme for 2018-19 was

Camping Under the Stars. Teachers set up their

classrooms with this theme in mind; many had

mini tents to provide quiet workspaces and

flashlights for some special independent reading

times when classroom lights were turned off. At

the start of the school year, each classroom and

instructional area was given a copy of the “North

Star” book, by Peter Reynolds. This book has been

our school’s guiding theme since Sandown North

opened its doors in the fall of 2001 and also fit

nicely with our theme. Because I was beginning

my first year as the building principal, I felt it was

important to revisit the book and its important

message of being on a journey together, while at

the same time remembering the importance of

following our own paths. A highlight of the year

was our first graders’ performance of the North

Star musical based on the book. As a school

community, we continued on our STAR Quest,

always remembering our behavioral

expectations: Safe, Trustworthy, Always

respectful, Responsible. Tied in with our theme,

students earned the opportunity to dine on the

stage at the “Campfire Café” on Mondays.

At Sandown North, we strongly believe that if

students are to be able to learn, they need to be

ready to learn both intellectually and

emotionally. During the 2018-2019 school year,

we worked on developing positive learning

environments and students’ social and emotional

skills. We started our school year with staff by

having a social emotional learning (SEL)

presentation on opening day. Regulation stations

with activities to help students relax and refocus

were encouraged not only in classrooms but also

throughout the whole building. We continued the

tradition of starting our week together at Monday

Morning Meetings. During these meetings we

come together to celebrate our learning and

acknowledge the achievements of students and

staff, both in and out of school. Adding to this

Monday tradition was the start of Music Mondays.

Each Monday, students were greeted by music

and dancing staff as they exited the busses. This

provided a fun and upbeat way to start each

school week.

Throughout the school year, we continued to

strive for academic growth for all learners.

During our grade level professional learning

community (PLC) time, educators reviewed

academic data to help determine interventions

and groupings within the Response to

Intervention (RTI) model. Through the use of

both formative and summative assessment data,

we were better able to work with students on

specific skills aligned to the curriculum by

providing targeted instruction. At Sandown

North, our teachers expanded their Guided Math

instructional strategies and created performance

tasks that factor in real-life applications. We are

proud of our work around guided math

instruction and making sure student learning

continues to be relevant and meaningful. Also, as

part of our academic focus, we used data collected

from the Tripod survey to help us identify which

of the 7 C’s we wanted to work on. Our staff


26 | P a g e

focused on “Consolidate.” This goal is to help

students perform better with deeper

understanding so that they are prepared to be

innovative, critical thinkers in a global society.

To enhance students’ learning, we had several

school-wide enrichment days and activities.

Many of these were organized by our

STEAM/Enrichment teacher, Mrs. Bruce. For

example, 77 students participated in our

Invention Convention at school with 21

continuing onto the Regional Event in

Manchester. Two students were invited to the

National Event. On “Makerspace Day”, all

students participated in a wide variety of

activities from constructing rockets and balloon

powered cars, to learning about the power of

magnets and wind. Fifth graders created their

own fashion designs from recycled and

repurposed materials for the first Sandown North

STEAM Fashion Show, which will now be an

annual event. Another tradition that was started

during the 2018-2019 school year was the 5th

Grade Students vs. Faculty basketball game. The

final score of the game was actually a tie! Several

afterschool opportunities were also offered by

our staff and included: Obstacle Course, Science

Club, Hero Boys Running Club, Fitness Club and

Girls on the Run.

In addition to having the opportunity to teach an

amazing group of children, we are so fortunate to

be a part of the caring community of Sandown.

Our parents and community members are

incredibly giving of their time. We had a record

number of over 100 approved applications for

designated volunteer status. Our PTA continued

to play a positive role in our school. They

sponsored numerous annual activities such as

our PTA auction, dances, and a pancake breakfast.

In November of 2018, we also conducted an off-

site evacuation drill. Staff worked with our police

and fire departments and the First Student Bus

Company to safely transport students off site to

Zorvino’s in preparation of an emergency. It truly

takes a village. We are so grateful for our

community and the important role they play in

our students’ lives and in the success of our

school.

SECONDARY REPORT

The 2018-19 school year was a good one for our Tigers and Owls! Across grades 6-12, new curriculum was

developed and implemented, assessment mapping was at the forefront of teacher planning, and

performance assessments were used to engage students in authentic assessment opportunities. Building

administrators, Academic Deans, and the Secondary Director of Curriculum collaborated with teachers to

support them through curriculum work, which in turn supported the instruction delivered to students in

the classroom. Our schools continued our collaborative efforts to support students through the transition

process from middle school to high school. Our counseling department provided opportunities for 9th

grade students to visit the middle school and speak about their experiences through the transition to TRHS.

Our 8th graders also had an opportunity to hear from a panel of graduating seniors, who spoke of their

experiences in the realms of academics, athletics, music, drama, community service, and extracurricular

opportunities.

TIMBERLANE REGIONAL MIDDLE SCHOOL

Maegan Koelker, Principal

Students and staff at TRMS had a successful 2018-

2019 school year! Students engaged with their

education in a meaningful way, built relationships

with peers and staff members through various

activities and our Advisory period, and were

guided by our core values: Respect,

Responsibility, and Right Choices.

This was our second year of implementation of

the extended-learning block schedule. Staff

members worked collaboratively to plan lessons

aligned to the curriculum, use performance-

based assessments, and personalize their

instruction to meet the needs of our learners, thus

increasing accountability and rigor in the

classroom. Additional time in core classes offered

many opportunities for more in-depth

personalized learning, extension activities, and

built in time for tiered supports. During Reading

Block, students were exposed to novels they read

both independently and as a group, non-fiction

texts, and short stories. Enrichment

opportunities were offered during Opportunity

Block. Students and staff focused on interest-

based and inquiry-based ideas to develop

activities that were engaging, enriching, and fun!

World Language classes explored cultural and

language-based lessons in Latin, Spanish, and

French.

Each grade level has unique needs during their

time at TRMS. As a whole, our school community

is a strong one, but we also value and recognize

the needs of each level of learners.

Administrators held parent transition nights for

the parents of both incoming 6th graders and

incoming 7th graders. Also, 6th graders had a

chance to visit the middle school and meet their

new teachers in June. These same students

attended Camp Lincoln in the Fall to get to know

their teachers and their new classmates, many of

whom they were meeting for the first time.

Seventh grade students had the chance to visit

Camp Tricklin’ Falls and participate in team

building activities with their teams. Finally, 8th

grade students met with school counselors from

the high school to prepare them for their

transition to TRHS. They also had a promotion

ceremony held on the TRHS football field to

congratulate them on their middle school success

and to wish them well as they headed off on their

next adventure.

TIMBERLANE REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Don Woodworth, Principal

Throughout the 2018-2019 school year, the

faculty, staff and students of the high school

focused on the core values of respect, community

and creativity while performing at high levels

academically and in co-curricular activities.

Through the delivery of competency-based

curriculum and instruction, the many events that

comprise our community service program,

cultural and theatrical performances, and the

activities of every team, club, honor society, and

student government organization, Timberlane

students were encouraged to consider their

collective responsibility for contributing to

society. Whether it was in the arts as our students

sang, played, danced, acted, and improvised

brilliantly or in athletics where they competed

with spirit, talent and sportsmanship, the

students reflected the high school’s conscious

effort to keep students focused on respect,

compassion, and morality.

Through large annual community service

activities like Mealey’s Meals and Project Hope,

students raised over $40,000.00 to help those in

need of financial support for reasons that ranged

from illness to misfortune. In theater, the

Timberlane players raised our awareness of

social issues through the musical, South Pacific,

and the plays, The Laramie Project and Our Town.

Similarly, through literary and visual art

contributions to “As We Are,” the school’s literary

magazine, and yearlong hallway and library

exhibits, students demonstrated their high

degree of understanding, empathy and

compassion.

Academically, in a state that is among the

strongest in the nation in Scholastic Aptitude

Tests (SAT) and Advanced Placement (AP)

examination scores, Timberlane remained

competitive, scoring above the state average, as

reported by the College Board. With the ongoing

implementation of our competency-based

curriculum, high school students have continued

to perform at a high level. Our school provides

opportunities for a student body with diverse

interests and abilities. These efforts have

resulted in high levels of participation in

opportunities such as engineering courses

through the Project Lead the Way program or

Career and Technical Education courses at Salem

High School and Pinkerton Academy.

Additionally, the district expanded the 1:1

technology initiative, providing students in

grades 9-11 at the high school with Chromebooks,

enabling students to access assignments and

information and to complete and communicate

their work.

In the 2018-2019 school year, the administration,

faculty and staff were highly engaged in

completing our Self Study Report for the New

England Association of Schools and Colleges

(NEASC), the organization that our district uses

for accreditation. This extensive report was the

culmination of hundreds of hours of work. The

Self-Study Report was provided to a visiting team

of outside educators to read in preparation for

their visit in the fall of 2019. During their visit,

the team met with parents, teachers, students,

school board members, the superintendent of

schools and other SAU representatives and high

school administrators as they examined every

aspect of the high school. We look forward to

receiving NEASC’s report of their findings in the

spring of 2020. This feedback will be used to

guide and inform our collective efforts at

continual and ongoing school improvement.

EVENING DIVISION AND SUMMER SCHOOL

Scott Strainge, Associate Principal


29 | P a g e

Timberlane strives to provide a personalized

learning environment that engages students as

individual learners. To this end, students have

many avenues by which to optimize their

education. Evening Division continues to be a

place where traditional and non-traditional

students can earn credits towards a Timberlane

diploma. Evening Division serves a mix of day

and evening-only students. During the 2018-

2019 year, 139 students took 24 classes offered

in all of the major disciplines. There were 233

total Evening Division enrollments for the year.

An Evening Division Team that included

Teachers, Academic Support Centers, Site

Managers and a Receptionist was in place to

support students, their families and staff and

ensure safety and security for the building. The

HiSET (GED) program also ran during the evening

division hours and offered students an

opportunity to earn their HiSET Certificate or a

Timberlane Diploma. A total of nine students

were a part of the program this year. Six students

were successful in earning their HiSET Certificate

and Diploma through the program while three

students will continue in the 2019/20 school

year. In the spirit of personalized learning

opportunities for all students, our Summer School

program expanded in 2019 to include not only

credit recovery options, but enrichment

opportunities of all types of learners.

ATHLETICS

Angelo Fantasia, Director

During the 2018-2019 year, the Timberlane

Athletic Department continued to enjoy success

both in competitions and in academics. TRHS

offered 29 sports programs for boys and girls.

Many of our student-athletes were involved in a

variety of student activities, including clubs,

music, and student government.

The TRHS Life of an Owl Student Leadership

Program extended into the middle school age

group and continued to serve as a mentor

program for other New Hampshire schools. Our

middle and high school student leaders

participated in a training session led by the

NHIAA Life of an Athlete Coordinators.

Approximately 30 new students were trained in

the program.

Our student-athletes continued to participate in

community service projects. Our teams

participated in such important initiatives as

Project Hope, Operation Hat Trick, and Strut for a

Cure, just to name a few.

Many of our high school teams qualified for

NHIAA Tournament play. The TRHS Wrestling

Team won its 20th straight NH State

Championship title.

The Timberlane Middle School Athletic

Department offered 22 athletic teams, as well as

intramurals programs. Our teams enjoyed a great

deal of success, and won Tri County

Championships in wrestling, girls’ soccer and

volleyball.

The Timberlane Athletic Department is proud of

all our coaches and student-athletes for their

efforts on the fields, in the classrooms, and in our

community.

Go Tigers and Go Owls!

PERFORMING ARTS

Tony DiBartolomeo, Director

The 2018-2019 school year was another exciting

and event-packed year for the Timberlane

Performing Arts Center. Students and

community members experienced a wide range

of events and performances and our audience

members have been enriched by the breadth and

scope of the performing arts in the PAC.

Since its gala opening ceremony in 2002, the

Timberlane Performing Arts Center has become

the hub for cultural, political and most

importantly, educationally positive programs for

the Timberlane District, and the 2018-2019

school year was no exception. Last years’ PAC

events featured a Veterans Day concert by the

Timberlane Community Concert Band, an

Afternoon of Jazz, featuring the Jazz Vocal Quintet

the Bel Airs; a Guitar Festival featuring our

Timberlane Community Guitar Orchestra, the

TRHS Guitar Orchestra and outstanding local

talent; and The Timberlane Jazz Band Festival

featuring the Seacoast Big Band and


30 | P a g e

performances by the Timberlane Community Jazz

Band, Freese Brothers and the Blue Note Big

Band. The annual Timberlane Community Music

Association’s Band, Jazz Band, Guitar Orchestra

and newly formed Community Chorus, presented

their annual Holiday Concert along with

Timberlane’s TUBA CHRISTMAS. The Merrimack

Valley Philharmonic Orchestra successfully

completed its second season in the PAC. This

community orchestra took permanent residence

in our Performing Arts Center, presenting

concerts and creating musical opportunities for

our students to participate, and our community to

enjoy this fine organization. We were very

excited to acquire this 58-year-old Merrimack

Valley musical tradition located in the PAC.

Additionally, the Timberlane PAC hosted the

Boston-based groups Ben Rudnick & Friends and

the United States Coast Guard Band; the

Washington-based United States Army Field

Band and Soldiers Chorus and the United States

Air Force premier jazz ensemble, “The Airmen of

Note”. In March, the PAC presented “Le Cirque

Espirit,” which combined the artistry of aerial

acrobats and the music of Cordis. All of these

events were made possible by the support of the

community has shown to the PAC by attending

and promoting these PAC musical endeavors.

Within the Timberlane Music Department, the

numerous district student bands, jazz bands, solo

performers and ensembles, orchestras, choruses,

and guitarists presented high quality concerts

throughout the year for parents and community.

These performances represented the culmination

of daily rigorous classroom experiences

throughout the year. Our All State quality

musicians represented Timberlane in a masterful

way at all three New Hampshire music festivals.

Our classical, jazz, and chamber performers lead

the state with their attendance and performances

on the state stage.

The Timberlane Drama Department and the

Timberlane Players presented audiences with

their productions of Our Town, The Laramie

Project, and Almost, Maine. In conjunction with

the music department, the Drama Department

produced the MS Musical Seussical and the HS

musical South Pacific. In addition, The Milkmen

productions and the 24-Hour Plays gave the high

school thespians the opportunities to expand

their dramatic horizons through truly unique and

challenging opportunities in both

improvisational comedy and one-act play writing.

All of these PAC events happened along with the

30+ elementary, middle school and high school

student performances in our orchestra, band

guitar and chorus student ensembles. This year

we have implemented the All District Elementary

Honor ensembles in Band, Chorus and Orchestra.

These ensembles are an opportunity for our

elementary music students from all four

elementary schools to join forces and perform in

an ensemble setting. This was a three-year

project and the success of this undertaking is due

the outstanding work of our elementary and

middle school music teachers and the

cooperation of parents from throughout the

district. Find your way to many of these fine

productions by visiting the PAC website at

2020-21 SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT NO. 55 BUDGET

Budget line item #2320, SAU #55 Budget, is developed in accordance with state statute RSA 194-C:9, "Each district within a school administrative unit shall raise at the next annual school district meeting the sum of money apportioned to it by the school administrative board for the expenses of services which each district received in connection with the school administrative unit office." In order to comply with this RSA, a public hearing is held in November and the budget is voted on by the SAU Board after that public hearing; thus no changes can be made to the SAU budget at the annual school district meeting.
